Hi Mayrie.
Yes, you were very clear, and thanks.
I'm not a good scanner--if I want to ruin a book I scan it <smile>. So, your
suggestion about columns makes sense.
I have done what you suggested about doing a find for ^m in msword and it is
progressing ok. I would prefer to make the changes in Kurzweil but I can't
figure out a way to delete a page break when it shouldn't be there.
Thanks.
Bob

Hi Bob,
This double pages thing could have happened if the book had
collumns, but the scanner told the recognition settings to recognize two
pages per scan instead of one. Then the OCR program would have seen two
collumns on a page as two pages of text and put a page break where there
shouldn't have been one.
I don't know how quick it would be, but the only way I can see to
get rid of every other page is to do a find (not a find and replace) for
the
page break symbol. That symbol in word is ^m and in K1000 is\p you could
then use control f to find the first occurrence of a page break, decide
whether that one should stay or delete it, then use F3 to find the next
occurrence in either program and skip the page breaks that you want to
keep
and delete those that need to go bye-bye. Not terribly quick, but would
work.
Let me know if I've been unclear.
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Extra pages in a book.
Hello all.
I am validating Logics of Dissentegration PostStructuralist Thought and
the
claims of Critical Theory. Not a book I'd like to read from cover to
cover.
However, though it is a pretty good scan it has about twice as many pages
as
it needs. In toher words, the book ends on (I don't remember the exact
numbers) but, say, about 400 pages, while Kurzweil and word report about
800
pages.
It appears that the person who scanned it got two pages for every page
scanned.
Okay, my questions are:
Has anyone seen this sort of thing before?
How can you get two pages for every physical page?
and: does anyone know of a quick and dirty method of going through a
document eliminating every other page break?
I have Kurzweil and MsWord 2003 to work with this file.
I am going out of my ever loving mind with boredom and am not on page 100
yet.
Any ideas would be appreciated before they come take me away to the nut
house.
Bob
